My mail box is very building like. It uses the same bricks that make the house. I always thought they looked rather silly, but everyone has them in this area. It seems like a lot of material to make a mailbox out of. They also are a pain to fix if a car hits it.

The arch at the top is curious though. Almost like a decoration for the sake of decoration. The bricks around the mail box seem to celebrate the mail boxes curvature. Now that I think of it, the form of the mailbox is somewhat similar to the brick structure only that the brick structure is elongated on the sides. I wonder if that was intentional or coincidental.

It also seems kind of weird to have this huge solid mass and only have a tiny box in it.

This building is in downtown Dallas. I often am interested when electrical wires start to play with buildings. It usually seems so intrusive to the building, kind of like a bug on a television set. I don't know if architects actually plan if the building will have power lines around them. This building in particular seems to be crowded by the wires and also possibly the road and some of the buildings around it.


I like this photo because these buildings seem kind of sneaky. They are peaking at me and I am peaking at them. The shape of the buildings are also truncated causing them to be something completely different than the building is look at from a whole.

Outside when it's night time outside my home

My neighborhood is a typical suburban development. I would like to imagine that this way of building is just a fashion on it's way out of style, but it's where I've lived for a while and there it is. I figure there's merit in giving it a really close look-at. There is a lot to be said but probably it's best to start with baby steps.



This here is my house. To me it is barely a visual thing. It is like a thing you stare at yet you don't recall anything in particular. At night I think this is more so since much of the building is turned into a silhouette. It barely exists at night.



Russell creek signs are at every street entrance. They take on this plain look. Very blocky. The streetlight lights it into a strange green color. There is something about it that reminds me of a funeral.



Some of the homes make me feel ticklish. They are deceptively funky. It all seems to be in the decorations with the sidding, gutters, windows, etc. It can be startling when I try to approach the neighborhood as obnoxious urban sprawl. The building shows itself in this ways as if it jumps out of a box to say "tadaaaaa!"
